Fun day at a new museum in town a few weeks ago. Not much to say here but cool textures and backgrounds everywhere. Aperture priority. Shot with my 18-55mm @ f3.8 and exposed for 1/60 sec at ISO 720. How you guys doing? Everyone ready for spring?
It rained seriously hard the day before yesterday. That’s all the motivation I need to take a picture. The cars in the distance were parents waiting for the bus to rescue their children from the downpour.
